The cost of a lap band fill or better stated "adjustment" depends on how the procedure is financed. Generally a lap band procedure performend under insurance has a global period of 90 days after surgery in which the fills are for free, then the cost of the fills after 90 days depends on the office policy.

Non -insurance lap band procedures also generally have a global period of 90 days and then each fill after 90 days post surgery has a charge which varies from office to office.

Check with your local surgeon and verify the policy for lap band adjustments.
